Chapter 716: Find Someone
"You mean you agreed to invest?" Qi Yuntao asked Su Xing.
"You write a plan first, I have just told you about the general direction, we must engage in research and development, we have to have our own products, we have to have our own core technology, in addition to this time you can go to find someone, in the early stage, I will give you 5 million first, so that you can build a framework, and then additional investment will be made. Su Xing said to Qi Yuntao, "The specific contract must also be negotiated and signed." ”
"No problem, what you said must be done, and you must follow this rule. Qi Yuntao nodded, "But 5 million is not a bit less, I sold my family property myself, and the funds in my hands are almost more than 10 million, but this money is far from enough to make mobile phones, and I heard you just now that you must focus on research and development, research and development needs to invest more money, tens of millions are small, hundreds of millions are possible, and it may not be able to be developed, so the money is probably not enough." ”
"I know it's not enough, 5 million is just an early investment, and there will be more funds later, but since you are looking for me to invest, although the contract has not yet been signed, there are some things we have to say clearly, in terms of the company's right to speak, my right to speak cannot be lower than you, as for the shares, it will be calculated according to the funds invested. "Wake up to do business is like this, and the company's rules should be made clear at the beginning.
The dual-share structure is the way most companies will adopt when investing, by separating cash flow and control, they can ensure that they can still have control over the company even if their shares are diluted when they invest.
Su Xing has taken this approach to important investments, and now Qi Yuntao is looking for him to invest, wanting to get funds, and Su Xing doesn't want to be set aside by the other party.
It doesn't matter if the shares can be less, but the right to speak cannot be low.
Awakening wants not only dividends, but also wants to control the company's major events, and only when you get the right to speak can you express your meaning to some of the company's daily affairs.
"This ......" Qi Yuntao hesitated a little, "Are there anything you don't like about me?"
"It's not that I'm not worried about you, but if I really want to be worried about you, I won't agree to say that I want to invest, why do I want to have a say in the company? It's because I want to be the one who makes the decision, or one of the people who make the decision. "Wake up and say," Smartphones are indeed a development trend in the future, doing this can indeed make money, but I do this not just to make money, if I really want to make money, I have many other places to invest, make more money than smartphones, I will invest 5 million in the early stage just to let you build a framework, find people, but also deal with some daily affairs expenses, and at the end of the year I will add 50 million investment to the company, there will be more investment later, and there will be more and more funds. ”
No one knows the cost of R&D better than Awakening, 5 million cannot be used for R&D at all, even if it is 50 million, it can only be a little splash in the R&D funds.
Without follow-up funding, it is difficult for R&D to succeed.
"I kind of understand what you mean, do you want to be the father of smartphones, want to make a career in the mobile phone industry, and what you want is not money, but fame?" Qi Yuntao said.
That's pretty much what it means, but it's a little different. Su Xing sandwiched a grain of fried peanuts, and said while eating, "This is not as good as before, it is easy to fight in the era of cold weapons, today you don't obey me, you cut me, tomorrow I don't obey you, I cut you with a knife, fight back and forth, very cruel and bloody, now it is generally peaceful, not so bloody, but in essence, there is not much difference, although the open side of the fight is gone, the more obscure battle in the secret has been going on." ”
"Especially in business, killing people does not see blood, looting a country to collapse a country does not have to be slashed, this purpose can also be achieved through commerce, and even commercial to achieve this purpose is more direct and effective than slashing and killing, after all, the purpose of slashing and killing is to loot wealth most of the time. If you want to avoid being put on the neck by someone else's knife, the best way is to master the technology yourself, rather than doing assembly, in the final analysis, doing assembly is actually doing sales, there is no technical content, although it can save costs, but the door is pinched in the hands of others, if others want to play you, minutes of things. ”
"I see what you mean, this one is a bit like a cook. Qi Yuntao nodded, " Open a hotel invited a cook to help, this chef's skills are good, business is very good, suddenly one day the cook said to add 500 yuan, or he will not do it, to leave, I have a very good business, and I can't find a good cook, I can only agree, and then suddenly one day he wants to add money, said to add 500 yuan, because, I have not found the cook, so I can only continue to agree to his request, and he also saw this, the later requirements are more and more excessive, resulting in me to open a hotel to be subject to him, if I find a cook at this time, or I have learned a good cook, will not be subject to him。 ”
"That's right, that's the truth. Su Xing nodded, "Making a mobile phone is similar to opening a hotel, the dishes are good before someone comes to eat, the hardware and software in the mobile phone is the cook, the chef has good skills to attract more customers, but if the chef is not controlled, not his own people, then he is in a passive position, there may be a day when the chef picks a child and does not do it, the hotel's business will plummet, to prevent this kind of thing from happening, you have to learn good cooking skills, or have a closer, trustworthy chef." ”
"Okay, I completely understand, I find that you are more mature than me in terms of mobile phones, and more far-sighted, I can rest assured that I cooperate with you, my purpose is actually very simple, that is, to make money, want to make a fortune from the smartphone market, since your views in this area are more mature than mine, then what does it matter if you give you a right to speak? Qi Yuntao was also very simple and agreed, "Let's adopt a two-tier equity structure, with different rights for the same shares." ”
The matter of cooperation was roughly decided.
"I recommend you go to someone. Su Xing said to Qi Yuntao, "As long as you find this person, it will be much easier to ask questions about mobile phone technology." ”
"Who?"
"Ni Guangnan. ”
